Embroidery design

It looks like original dress has red lace details, cut and sewed to the dress. I understood that it would be hard to find similar lace in doll scale at first, and I’m too lazy to cut details from the lace (if I find it) and sew to the dress in a proper order. So for me to create an embroidery design was the simplest way to have the dress 🙂

Machine embroidery

Instead of thousand words…

Hand embroidery and sewing

After my embroidery machine had finished its work, the time to decorate the dress with beads and sequins started for me.

When I decorated the dress front and back, I cut out the details and sewed side seams.

The next step was to sew a golden narrow ribbon to the dress and embellish it with beads.

I made a ring with pompoms and then sewed the ring to the dress decorating the ring’s center with a sequin. After the dress was decorated with pompoms, I sewed it. Unfortunately I didn’t take the pictures of this process but after the process above, believe me, it was not so hard 🙂

I also made tassels (even twice) and sewed them to the finished dress.
